URFAD: The Gnome

Gnomes tend to be six to twelve inches shorter than dwarfs and noticeably thinner. Gnomes, as player characters, are magic-using thieves. Following the multi-class rules laid out for elves, they may ascend to seventh-level thief and third-level magic-user.

Gnomes may not have more than 4 HD.

Gnomes take full damage from ogres, trolls, and giants, but those same creatures have a –4 chance to hit.

+4 to magic-based saves. +2 to find traps. +1 to hear noise.

Note sloping passages, unstable or shifting walls, new construction, etc., while exploring, and has a 2-in-6 passive check for traps while exploring.
